Synopsis
This book is intended for modern students, inside or outside the classroom, as a work of reference rather than a "teach yourself" textbook. It presents an introductory sketch of Pali using both European and South Asian grammatical categories. In English-language works, Pali is usually presented in the traditional terms of English grammar, derived from the classical tradition, with which many modern students are unfamiliar. This work discusses and reflects upon those categories, and has an appendix devoted to them. It also introduces the main categories of traditional Sanskrit and Pali grammar, drawing on, in particular, the medieval Pali text Saddaniti, by Aggavamsa. Each grammatical form is illustrated by examples taken from Pali texts, mostly canonical. Although some previous knowledge of Sanskrit would be helpful, the book can also be used by those without previous linguistic training. A bibliographical appendix refers to other, complementary resources., This book is intended for modern students, inside or outside the classroom, as a work of reference rather than a "teach yourself" textbook.

    Fantastic seller! Really took the time to make sure this item arrived in great shape. More DVD sellers should take note. Using a filmsy envelope will most likely have the item arrived dinged and dented. But this seller added extra bubble wrap and and cardboard. Thank you for that!

    Item was packaged nicely in a simple box, aside from the lack of packaging or bubble-wrap, it arrived as the seller has shown in the listing. Shipping was pretty fast, and I got a little worried it was going to come very late since USPS has been in a tizzy since late February, but I'm glad that is not the case. As a sucker for Great Courses material regarding the colonial period. This was a great find! Good seller nonetheless.
